Re: [AMC-list] Edelbrock R4B

Same here, I use glass bead, can't say that I've ever used aluminum oxide so 
I don't know what the results would be. Also I use glass beads that are 
mostly used up, you know the sharp edges are well worn from a lot of 
blasting. Remember not to get too aggressive with aluminum. The well used 
glass bead leaves a fairly satin finish. Clear coating that can leave a 
pleasing appearance or a great base for a chrome powder coat finish. 
Remember to degrease first. Don't use your bead blast cabinet as a 
degreaser.

I would recommend having it glass bead-blasted, as it leaves a better finish 
quality than aluminum oxide. I use it on all the manifolds that I clean up 
for resale.

Here's a link to an I-6 intake, showing both before (RH side) and after (LH 
side) being done with glass bead.

Jeff,

Anyone with a bead blast cabinet and some aluminum oxide meda can do that 
for
you. Find a local car club member or friend with the capability.

I have an Edelbrock R4B that I would like to have restored. It is complete, 
not
slotted, and not damaged but is dirty and has white spots of corrosion on 
in.
Some of the corrosion I can see down in the runners and probably where I 
can't
see it. Any recommendations of a company that can restore it? Thanks, Jeff
